Postman crossed 500MB RAM. We crossed a line. ApiArk is a local-first API client built with Tauri + Rust. No account, no cloud, no telemetry. Collections are plain YAML files, git-diffable like any other code. REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket, SSE, MQTT in one interface. Native MCP server for AI agents. ~60MB RAM, <2s startup. MIT licensed. Import from Postman, Insomnia or Bruno in seconds.

Hey Product Hunt! I built ApiArk because I got tired of Postman eating 800MB of RAM just to send a GET request and then requiring a login to do it. ApiArk stores everything as plain YAML files on your filesystem. No cloud, no accounts, no proprietary formats. It works fully offline and plays nicely with Git. Tech stack: Tauri v2 (Rust backend + OS native webview) instead of Electron. That's where the 60MB RAM and <2s startup come from. Happy to answer any questions about the architecture or the decision to go local-first. Would love your feedback!
